An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
